Well, another SAAC National is in the books.
Last weekend (Aug.27 - 29) was the 35th National Convention for the Shelby American Automobile Club, held at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA. If you are a real enthusiast, events like this are a must-see.
My post is better late than never...In the past, I have always tried to post news and pics as they happened during the convention weekend; this year, it was my turn in the barrel as Event Coordinator, so I had my hands full over the three days with logistics...there was little time to post. I'll try and make it up with a robust thread of details and images, to give a sense of the weekend activities.
It was great to see many CC members during the weekend...the WSCG and the BACC gang. The party was a joint effort on the part of SAAC HQ and Nor Cal SAAC, whose members worked tireless hours to make it one of the best conventions in recent years.
Let's get to it...
The host hotel was the Embassy in San Rafael; they really made our group feel at home, especially with a complimentary bar for a few hours every night.
Here's a few shots of the Infineon paddock, before the load-in on Thursday...the aerial view gives you a good idea of what the layout is...
The track was perfect for the event...a neat road course and a world-class drag strip... and the management there was a pleasure to work with.
